I remember getting to college and seeing these kids pour themselves a full glass of milk at dinner, and thinking to myself, "Well, that's a new kind of white person I haven't seen before."

The Greenfield lesbian mask bar story is about to spur a mini cycle of copycats like John Carreyrou’s theranos reporting did in 2015
Per a note to Boston Globe staff today, the lesbian bar story generated 1,000 subscriptions to the paper yesterday. The Globe’s managing editor said it was “by far our best performing story of the year,” and appears to be “on pace to shatter all sorts of Globe records.”

In a fit of pique about gaining a bunch of weight I gave away some clothes to friends a couple years ago. Now having lost it and then some, how we feel about asking for a formerly prized jacket ~back~?

don't normally get too into such numbers/benchmarks but pretty fun to talk to a portco scaling >20x with a lifetime burn ratio <1 and a current burn ratio of ≈0.5.
Super efficient rapid growth
A lot of really great companies take a while to get going, and revenue growth is not the end all be all..
But, if this is what a pacesetter means, there are at least two portfolio companies in our current fund that would be considered in the top decile 💪

Of course @slow is the one and only “unconfirmed” office on the list.
SF VC'S have found a new watering hole in Jackson Square. 37+ firms in about six blocks.
Fun fact: These are 170 year old gold rush brick buildings and @ThriveCapital paid $9M for a firehouse at 451 Pacific.

really stoked to be a small LP in DRF. It's also how we met @nathansnonsense!
This is a really special group
What do @tonioloko (Dandy), @mntruell (Cursor), and @laurenmhreeder (Sequoia) have in common?
While in school, they were all DRFers. Once they graduated, they stuck around.
It's the final countdown, apply to join the best group in venture by Thursday, 9/17 @ 11:59pm ET!

There are only four jobs... h/t @yrechtman
